Contortion Blonde II

Mirror Mirror II

Narcissa

In attraction we desire the company and recognition of beauty.  To be recognized, embraced, and wanted in return by someone beautiful results in a selfish affirmation of worth.  What is beauty and why is it prized so highly?  Is not a deadly poison still a deadly poison no matter the artistry, and elegance of its container?  Personally, I'm a victim of desire, like most everyone, but I'm also stubborn and picky, waiting years between relationships before finding someone, like that crazy fantastic girl with the yellow scarf, having just the right balance of everything both inside and out.  Unfortunately, the attraction is not always mutual, recognized, convenient, and even more rarely ever returned, and I go for more years with only myself to try to love when no one else will.  It's so very hard to love yourself when no one else will.

It's extremely hard to love yourself when there's no one else to back that up.
Suffice to say, I'm not feeling any love, from myself, or anyone else. 

Mirror Mirror

Look into the mirror and you'll see a twinned reflection of yourself, but mirrors are tricky and they can lie.

A photograph can be more honest than the mirror, but also lie more effectively.

Look at your friends and associates.  There, you will see yourself with greater honesty, if you know how to look.

But what do digital shepherds dream of?

We're all familiar with the question and title; Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
Any debate regarding the capability of sheep, electronic or no of dreaming, I'm going to leave alone.
Where digital shepherds are involved in herding electric sheep, however, more than of their flocks they may dream.
